Nigel Farage missed Keir Starmer's Commons statement on the UK-EU Summit earlier this week.
He's now missing today's Westminster Hall debate on the summit.
Because just a few days before parliamentary recess, he's on holiday.
(Which is his 10th trip abroad at least since the general election).

Nearly half of British youth would rather be young in a world with no internet. It’s a damning indictment of what social media has become.
As its harms continue to grow, governments need to act — but they must take the right measures instead of reaching for easy fixes.

Politicians should be leaving their comment sections open.
I know many of them face abuse there, and that’s absolutely terrible. However, public forums should be a place for (hopefully respectful) discourse, even if it is sometimes toxic.
Politicians don’t need echo chambers.

Where did THIS Mike Johnson come from? I hate to admit it, but I like this dude and wish I saw him more often.
Btw, fire Katherine Clark: she’s a stock guru and she profited off of COVID-19 quite significantly. Such a bad look for the Democrats.

Lemme guess… Danielle Smith will call the Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills by-election before the one in Edmonton-Ellerslie, and even more damning, she’ll probably hold this by-election before the one in Edmonton-Strachona!
Just a prediction here, but I’m sure I’ll be proven right very soon.

I’m a very proud member of @bcnewdemocrats.bsky.social but I’m far from proud about Bill 15.
In the form in which it was passed, it violates UNDRIP, and places us at risk of neglecting our environment in favour of building things quickly and without regard.
There is a better way. We can do both.

He cared for his colleagues families as much as he cared for families across BC.
